 Appendix B: History of Equestrian Activities and Boarding at Will Rogers SHP
The idea was that a single equestrian operation would “be allowed to generate sufficient income to maintain all facilities and to coordinate all horse activities.” The goal of generating income to maintain all Park facilities seems to have driven subsequent concession contracts.
Under the initial polo concession contract, there was a great deal of public resentment at the so-called monopoly that the concessionaire enjoyed.
By the early 1980s, the Department received citizen complaints of irregularities in the polo operation, failure to maintain the facilities, and exclusion of non-boarder equestrians from the Park.

Whether you can claim depreciation of "equipment" such as a polo pony depends on whether you are running your polo operation as a business, whether the business is and has been profit-earnging, and whether you can support your valuations with data the IRS will believe.
However, I do not advocate getting "cute" with the IRS over polo pony depreciation (if you are an amatuer player), as it may invite an audit.
If you are a polo professional, you should seek advise from your accountant, as you may have a good faith basis for claiming such, as long as you can support the figures you use with reliable data.
